the first wears a dress and heels, and a string of pearls graces her neck. her hair is smoothly pinned up with the elegant air of sophistication. the bright eyes sparkle as she walks down the street at night, invigorated by the city lights and soft jazz music coming from a nearby coffee shop. she laughs at the world, taking in the moment and holding in her heart, sipping a latte.
the second wears worn jeans and a black t-shirt, with converse and bracelets. her hair is straight and chopped, and she keeps one knee bent, foot on the seat as she drives to the beach. there, the salty wind blows but she doesnt care. she, too, grabs a latte and heads to the edge of the pier where she sits and dangles her feet off the side. she, too, laughs at the world and hides her secrets.
but today, neither of these is present. today she's half of each, with soft curls and a hoodie, and a heart that's longing for adventure and thrill. today it's wishing for an airline ticket. yes, today it's the reminder that true beauty is from within, not from the sometimes-airbrushed, sometimes-cracked mirror. today it's being content with whoever's looking back out. but she's still going to laugh and sip that coffee, undaunted and determined.
